If someone is a writer(or any kind of home office job), and charges 0.5 XMR an article, and advance payment of 0.25XMR, how would the client assure that he would not escape without doing the service, and if he does, how would the writer assures that he would be payed all 0.5 XMR?(without a third part)
Probably a multisig wallet with 2 signatures would do the job. One is for the employer, one is for the author. The employer sends half the funds to this wallet before getting the article. After the job is done, the employer sends the rest ot the sum and both parties sign a transaction to the wallet of the author.
Is an escrow service of some kind possible ?
With this kind of budget, You're better off risking that quarter than looking for technical solutions.
